NOIR Season 3 | Ep. 5: "Beyond Slow Motion w/ Richard Ryan
About this video
Colion explores California’s gun culture by visiting content creator Richard Ryan and competitive shooter Taran Butler. He examines what he describes as the contradiction between California’s restrictive gun laws and its passionate shooting community. Colion shares his perspective on navigating political commentary versus entertainment, discusses the responsibilities he feels as a public gun-rights advocate, and experiences three-gun shooting setups with Taran at his range.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues that California gun owners face extensive regulations and social stigma, requiring what he calls a ‘dual consciousness’ to navigate both gun-friendly and anti-gun environments
- Colion emphasizes the importance of being objective and responsible in gun advocacy, particularly when balancing entertainment content with messaging about rights and safety
- Colion presents three-gun competitive shooting as an accessible, positive representation of gun culture that he compares to ‘video games come to life’
